One of the best routers around
on October 26, 2016
Posted by: psyclopps
from San Diego, CO
It is hard to go wrong with this router. There is pretty much nothing I can say bad about from what I have experienced thus far.
Starting with looks, this thing looks cool. It takes me back to the style of older Linksys routers but with a much more modern and premium style. The indicators in the front are pretty hard to get confused by and are very straight forward. The rear side contains four gigabit Ethernet ports, a internet Ethernet jack, 1 USB 3.0 slot and 1 east/USB2.0 combo port. This should be more than enough for most people. It looks like it can be mounted on the wall as it has holes on the legs. It is not a larger router compared to some of the more high end models.
The advertised specs are pretty self explanatory so I am not going to go in depth on that, but the performance of this router is excellent. I have it hooked up to my main PC via ethernet but all the other devices in my house (laptop, other PC, IoT devices, Xbox, tablets, phones) are all connected via wifi. Most devices are 5ghz in my house and the coverage was excellent. I keep my router in the basement (not ideal) and I only had one bedroom which got degraded coverage, I do not feel this was because of distance but just materials. To test the network speed I transferred a 2GB file from computer to computer over the 5gHz network. I received 29 Megabyte per second (240 mbps) transfer time while doing this which is pretty good overall. I compared it to my EA9500 router which is a tri band router. When testing I received almost identical performance. The larger 80mhz and 160 mhz channels seem like they might be useful for high speed transfers but I am curious if it is affected by how crowded the wifi is in an area. I live in an area that is not too crowded with wifi and performance was great. Media prioritization is a useful feature if you want to ensure certain devices obtain the fastest connection.
The software for the router is very easy to use and uses Linksys Smart Wifi management so you can manage it over an app even if you are away from the network with a login. I do wish it had two factor authentication as it seems rather unsafe to use this with only a password login as it controls the entire network of your house. Hopefully they add support for this in the future. Firmware updates can be set up to be automatic keeping it simple for every user. Setup took less than 10 minutes and involved plugging it in, logging into the router and setting up a network name and passwords. It was that simple. The router does not display a network map though you can see the devices connected.
In summary, this is an amazing router that looks cool, performs great and is easy to use. Be sure you check out the documentation to ensure you have the antennas properly positioned for single level or multi level homes.

Bring the power of Google directly to your fingertips with the Google Pixel. A large 32GB of storage keep data secure, while unlimited cloud storage transfers data as needed, and it's completely automatic. The large 5-inch screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 4 to ensure the Google Pixel remains scratch-free.

The best Android device out there
on October 21, 2016
Posted by: psyclopps
from San Diego, CO
This thing is amazing! My short summary is that this is the best Android phone I have ever owned. My last phone was a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and I currently have a iPhone 7. I received the Pixel 5” 32gb and was immediately blown away. It is as close to a perfect Android device you can get right now. Lets start the review.
First, build quality. As some of the professional reviews have stated, this is like Google’s version of the iPhone. It is some seriously top notch hardware and feels extremely premium in the hand. The fingerprint reader is in the back in the glassy top portion. It is actually a pleasure to hold with the metal lower half and glass upper half on the back side. The front has a high quality Gorilla Glass 4 (I believe) screen. The buttons on the right side have the power toward the top (two clicks of it launch the camera) and the volume buttons towards the middle. This feels a little different from other phones but it is actually very good feeling if you are left handed.
This is a Verizon device (it can be purchased unlocked from Google) but I tried it out with my T-Mobile service as well. It was fully unlocked and got a great LTE connection with T-Mobile so no worries there. Just remember, the device should be paid off if you plan on switching services. There was ZERO Verizon branding on this phone and ZERO bloatware apps that I could find so that is a huge plus.
It is advertised as having the best camera money can buy on a phone but I could not see any difference from my iPhone 7, cameras are just too good these days. It does not appear to have optical image stabilization (which my iPhone 7 and most flagship Android phones have). This might be a big deal to some people but I have to admit it made no impact on my photos even in low light. It is a bit more apparent when taking videos though. The unlimited full quality storage space Google is offering is an amazing deal and makes it not much of an issue to have the limited space of the 32gb version. I just set it to clean up my device and upload photos when they take up a certain amount of space. The bright and beautiful screen do your photos justice as well
This thing is amazingly fast, I have never seen a faster phone in everyday use (iPhone included). Everything you do is instantly responsive with smooth animations, something rare on Android devices. It has top end specs and after using, I truly believe in the advantages of having one company make hardware and software, it is the only way to get a perfect experience. Google and Apple are both doing the right thing with this concept. On top of this, battery life was amazing (my largest annoyance on Android) and it charges extremely fast. There is no wireless charging if this matters to you.
I have fallen in love with Google Assistant. It pretty much replaces Google Now. It can be triggered via text in the search button on the top or with the usual “OK GOOGLE” voice command. What I love about this feature is that you can actually talk to it as if it is a person. It seems to understand absolutely everything I say and it provides the best results that actually matter. Siri on my iPhone seems very limited in comparison. You can actually converse and it remembers the context of your previous questions and statements. It is if nothing else fun to play with, but it can be very useful if you want it to be.
Sound was a negative point here. It is nice that it has a regular headphone jack but the speakers felt subpar to me compared to my S7 Edge and my iPhone 7. The speakers just felt flat and underpowered, not to mention the lack of stereo sound iPhone 7 has a much better listening experience. The headphone jack did not seem very amazing to me compared to other devices with a high end DAC like the LG V20.
One huge negative to me was the lack of water resistance. All newer Galaxy phones, most Sony phones and the iPhone 7 are all waterproof. I have grown used to using my phone in the rain here in the Seattle area. With the Pixel, I have to be a bit more careful when I step outside. It is a minor annoyance but one that must be made known as it might be a huge deal to some.
In all, this might be my all time favorite phone, it feels unique, fast, high quality and is simply beautiful. There are a few minor gripes to keep it from being perfect but it is almost there. I am undecided if I will stick to this or my iPhone 7 as my daily driver, but I am strongly leaning toward the Pixel. Regardless, I believe any buyer of this device will be happy.

My new favorite headphones
on October 1, 2016
Posted by: psyclopps
I did not expect these headphones to be so amazing. In summary, I can not find one thing I hate about them which I have never said before about a set of headphones. My only suggestion or input is that it would have been nice if they could have integrated the new Apple W1 chip for easy pairing to the new iPhones but that is extremely minor.
These things sound amazing over bluetooth! I am surprised how far bluetooth audio has come over the years. I tested these headphones with my MacBook pro, iPad pro and iPhone 7. All devices sounded exceptional over these headphones. I am no audiophile but I loved the booming base (not too much) and the wide range of mids and highs. It is a typical Bose sound profile love it or hate it but I am a fan. These are some of the most comfortable bluetooth headphones I have ever tried as well. I had some Power Beats 2 and Bose Quietcomfort 35 headphones, both of which I love for their purposes but these seem like they can be work for any occasion. The neckband feels ad if it isn't there and isn't just a ring, it is shaped to conform to the neck and collarbone in most people. The actual ear buds are a bit large overall but only in the dimension of sticking out of your ear. They actually look kind of cool and show off the product when they are inserted. It seems Bose wanted to make something kind of flashy that people will no doubt see when wearing them.
On to the coolest feature, the noise canceling. I am used to the active noise cancelling in the QC35 (which are amazing btw) but it is always on which isn't a bad thing but just something to be aware of. The QC30 uses an adjustable noise cancelling, you can control it via the buttons or via the app. You can cancel most noise out or have it allow some through the headphones. It is very cool to play with and makes them useful for walking around town where you might need to hear your surroundings or mowing the lawn to cancel some of the noise out. There are not advertised for gym use but they seem comfortable enough for it and have lots of rubber gaskets around the important parts so they are probably pretty water resistant.
They are very lightweight and are rated at 10 hours of battery life, I am not about to sit down and time it but it seems to be fairly accurate from normal wear and testing. One problem I had with the QC35 was the long battery life made for fairly heavy headphones, the QC30 is very light and I would never know there is such large battery capacity inside by looking at it. This is much better than my Power Beats 2 which are rated at 4 or 5 hours which seems to run down much quicker. The QC30 comes with a pancake shaped case which is very easy to carry around and has a pocket for the included USB cable for charging. There is no traditional 3.5mm headphone connections for this product, bluetooth only. I did not get a chance to test them with an AptX enabled device so I can not comment on if it helps audio quality with these headphones but as stated, I saw no issues over regular bluetooth on iOS devices. They are NFC enabled for quick paring if your device has it. The earbuds are extremely comfortable in your ear and there are a few size options, each silicone.
The Quietcontrol 30 headphones are officially my favorite headphones now and I feel they have replaced the ones I take out with me for everyday use. The QC35 is still better for an airplane ride, any long use noisy environment or just for cancelling out the world and vegging out to music, but the size of the QC30 and overall versatility makes them better for much more range of uses. A must buy product!

Good but with a few flaws
on October 1, 2016
Posted by: psyclopps
After receiving my Asus R 15, I have ultimately came out pleased with this piece of hardware. I have a few gripes but overall, I can say it it is worth the MSRP. I'm going to start with initial impressions, things I enjoy and then things that need work.
Upon unboxing, I was surprised how much lighter and thinner it was compared to what I expected. The listed specs had me worried it would be too heavy or too large compared to my MacBook Pro but one must also expect this with a 15 inch device. Of course, it probably is the listed weight but it does not seems as heavy as it actually is, this might just be an illusion from the sleek and compact design of the device (again, for a 15 inch device). There is no DVD drive so it is is overall pretty thin, I have attached a photo with my MacBook Pro 13 next to it for comparison. The construction quality surprised me as well when first opening. The top and inner portions are covered in a brushed aluminum which is cold to the touch and feels solid. The screen has little bit of give when you press on the metal though so that might have been a spot of compromise. The bottom is covered is a plastic that feels almost like a velvet, very smooth. Buttons are logically placed on the sides with power, volume SD card and a USB 2.0 slot on the right side, power, USB C 3.1, HDMI, headphones and two USB 3.0 slots on the left (one of the a charging port). The front only has indicators and nothing on the back. So how does it work?
This thing is great overall! The screen is bright and clear and has bright colors that pop. I did have to adjust the default of 150% scaling back to 100% scaling, it just makes more sense to me on a 1080p screen. I am not sure why they set 150% scaling as the default, this isn't a 4k screen after all. After doing this I was very pleased. I ran Geek Bench I scored 3819 in single core processing and 7209 in multi core processing. This is a bit faster than last years model i5, most of the benefits I have read in this years model come from power efficiency and multimedia processing, the only hiccup here is the hard drive since it is not a SSD, more on that later. On the bright side, the HD is 1TB which is plenty of space. The included 8GB of memory is fast DDR4 type running at 2133 mHz. They keyboard is great as expected on a larger laptop, it is great having a number keypad back. The touch screen is sensitive and it is nice have the versatile hinge that rotates 360 degrees. They advertise using it in laptop mode, tablet mode, tent mode and display mode. As it is kind of large and heavier, I do not foresee ever using it as a tablet but tent and display mode seem kind of nice for watching movies. Keys are responsive and the are backlit. I did not test gaming as it only includes an Intel 620 chipset but there is a geForce version available as well if needed. The 620 shouldn't be too bad in basic games or in low quality and 720p though. Here is my favorite feature, MUMIMO support, if you have a compatible router, you are going to get some extremely fast and reliable network speeds. There are a few additional antennas built into the back of the monitor, they allow this connection. When checking my home wifi connection, it is never less than 866 mpbs whereas my other 802.11 AC devices go between 500-700 mbps. This laptop is great if you do a lot of network intensive activities.
Now for my complaints. I have one big one which does affect the usability of the system. That is the trackpad, it is highly inaccurate and I am hoping it is something that can be fixed in a driver update. It is functional but it just seems compared to other laptops (especially my MacBook) that it is jumpy. I have to try very hard to accurately position the pointer on a part of my screen. It is possible it is the material used on the trackpad and how it interacts with my finger though, it does not feel like a higher quality glass trackpad, I feel like I will be using a mouse with this a lot. Otherwise, my other grips are minor. As mentioned, the hard drive is not a SSD so it is a lot slower to load things as it is 5400 rpm. I think 7200 should be required these days but it is what it though. The computer still feels fast but as most hard drives do, it might get bogged down over time as it get full of programs and junk. There is minimal bloatware installed but it is there nonetheless. The only one I uninstalled was McAfee (30 day trial) as I wanted to use a different antivirus scanner. Mostly there are just shortcuts to Priceline, Amazon on eBay. There is some basic Asus software but nothing obtrusive. This might matter to some but I felt Audio was very weak on this device. It has "Dolby Audio" written all over it but the speakers are very weak. They are positioned on the lower part of the front end close to the bottom so they at least point directly at you, but they just sound tiny for such a small device. My iPad gives me bigger sound even though it is a much smaller device. I am pretty sure the Dolby Audio thing is just sound profiles as I there is a menu for this hidden away in the applications. With headphones plugged in they do sound pretty good those on this device, not flat so it is likely that profiles are in effect and not any wizardry on the circuitry side.
All said and done, I highly recommend this device. My biggest complaint was the trackpad but it isn't enough to keep me from loving it. It is worth the purchase and I would recommend it for business (certified for Skype for business if that matters to you), students and anyone just needing a decent home computer to do routine work. Gamers stay away and there are probably better products if you want something on the premium side.

Great product but with a few minor gripes
on September 17, 2016
Posted by: psyclopps
I received this product which I could really use due to my purchase of a new house with hard wood floors. First and foremost, the largest benefit of this product is that if vacuums and washes multiple surfaces from hard wood floors to rugs.
I had a problem with the product I received; it comes with two samples of hard wood floor solution and multi surface solution. My multi surface solution was empty and it looks like it spilled on the documentation so I had to figure a few things out in assembly since most of the documentation was unreadable.
After figuring out the product, it was pretty straight forward assembly. The product looks very nice and modern. The tank has different fill levels for small floors or large floors. You have to remember to prime the solution each use. My main gripe is that the unit has a small cleaning head so it takes a while to go over the floor but this is not a huge deal, I would have added some width to the vacuum though. It comes with two multi surface heads and a hard wood floor head as well. I guess this is explained in the documentation but I did not know this due to my previous issue.
I would recommend buying a bottle or two of solution with this product since the samples that come with it will not last long, especially if you have a large floor, maybe one or two uses.
Overall, a great purchased that I would definitely buy, my issues with the product are minor and it actually solves a problem (less vacuums for each surface).

Power your Apple devices with this Belkin charge dock. It comes with a Lightning connector that charges iPhones and an integrated magnetic charger that provides Apple watches with more juice when needed. The single built-in cable of this Belkin charge dock lets you charge both devices simultaneously, saving you the inconvenience of using multiple cords.

Overall great, but a bit overkill
on August 29, 2016
Posted by: psyclopps
In short, I do like this device. Is it useful and compact getting rid of the need for multiple charges for the two devices. I'll start with all the positives.
This product looks good on my office desk. It is professional looking and matches the style of Apple devices. It charges iPhones and Apple watches as advertised, not quicker or faster but just as well. I like that I no longer have to have cords lying around my desk and each time I sit down I plop my phone or watch in to get it good to go for my next outing. I now go home with 100% charge each day. The device feels like it is built like a tank and is very heavy, it is not going anywhere on your desk, a huge plus.
On the down side (or up depending on how you look at it), the back has a dial. The dial controls the height of the power connector to your phone. This is for the purpose of adjusting the depth that the connector will be on the charger so that it can properly fit into various cases or no case at all on your phone. Thought it is useful, it feels a bit like an afterthought and is kid of a pain to properly adjust. It might just be me but it feels like it is not always effective or looses tension. The power adapter is also large which might be an issue, it will not fit into my power strip and requires its own plug on the wall to hang from.
Things I would change in the device, include making a more flush Apple watch charger. If you are not charging the watch, it sticks out very far. I would have added a better mechanism to the plug instead of the dial that is used. It is also very larger if you have an iPhone 6 or 6S. This is to make it more universal but clearly the size is designed for the 6 Plus or 6S Plus. Maybe if they made a separate model for each type (thought this might be overkill).
Overall, I like the device but I do not feel like it is truly needed. If you have some money to spend on cluttering your desk, please go ahead. If you do not seriously need it, you might want to skip over it.

Amazing speakers
on July 14, 2016
Posted by: psyclopps
from San Diego, CA
I bought this on a whim after walking past them at the store. I was blown away by their bluetooth sound quality compared to the larger speakers next to them. Their appearance fits in in a professional setting and we have then on our serving table in the dining room. Pairing is extra easy through NFC. Hook up is only three cords, power and each channel.

WOW
on June 5, 2016
Posted by: psyclopps
Hopefully my summary provides enough emphasis of how I feel about these. These are easily the best headphones I have ever had. Lets start with the pros. I like the style, they are a bit large but the complement the shape of someones head. Most headphones fit me in a way that looks like the pop off the side of my head, the QC35 conforms. The most important part, sound, is absolutely amazing. I listen mostly to alternative, EDM, and occasional country. The bass is very strong and clean but not overly so like Beats tend to do. Treble is also very clear.
I have been using Power Beats 2 lately along with Creative Outlier on ear headphones to compare these two. They are in a different class of course but the Bose QC35 much more comfortable. They provide a good range on all sounds compared to the power beats. The Bose feel extremely high quality while my Outliers feel like they were made from cheap materials.
Battery life is the best I have ever seen on a pair of headphones. I get close to the advertised 20 hours on these things. My power beats give me about 4-5 while my Outliers give me closer to 8. I could not believe that I can listen to these for almost an entire day.
I have not had too much chance to test the noise isolation as there is nothing very noisy nearby and it will be a few weeks until I take any plane trip. Just to try out the feature though, it seems to work pretty well drowning out all static noises around me in the park and still allowing me to hear important sounds such as someone talking to me.
On the downside, these are quite large headphones compared to what I am used to. Not necessarily a bad thing but just not my norm. With a battery as large as it is, they are surprisingly heavy. I did not mind but when I let others try it on, some said they were too heavy to wear for a long period of time. They are definitely designed to be worn while sitting or lying down. They are not meant to be something you would wear while running or any activity. I will stick to my Power Beats or Creative Outlier for that as those are designed for workouts and are very light.
Last, these things are $350 which is very pricy. If you want some superb audio quality, battery life that lasts all day and you travel or commute a lot in noisy environments, these are for you and you can't go wrong. If you want a pair of headphones for working out or walking around town, maybe look elsewhere.

Much better than expected
on May 26, 2016
Posted by: psyclopps
from San Diego, CA
I was not sure if I should purchase this when it first came out. I was mostly leaning towards a Microsoft band as I love its design and power features. My main concern from the Fitbit blaze was it's larger appearance and limited smart watch abilities. They also did not have any on display so it was hard to decide. Luckily, an employee had one on hand and showed it to me. His wrists were similar size as mine (small) and the watch looked great on it. The smart watch features were enough for me (I do not need watch apps) and the notifications and music control worked well. I bought a blue one with a black band as well for business outfits. The watch looks professional enough to wear with any outfit and has a good style.
My only annoyances are... -people ask wayyyy too much if it is an Apple Watch, I have to explain it is a Fitbit over and over to many confused faces -Charging is weird. You have to pop the device out of the watch and put it in a cradle, it does charge fast though.
Great device and worth the money

Perfect product
on May 12, 2016
Posted by: psyclopps
This this is pretty much invisible once set up. I highly recommend this product, especially if paired with a similarly advanced router (MU-MIMO).
Set up is a breeze, you can use WPS or you can connect to its built in Wi-Fi to connect it to a network. There are many options on set up but if you have a similarly matched router, the extended pretty much acts like it doesn't exist. By that I mean there will be no extra SSID listing, it is just completely transparent to the user.
It is somewhat bulky so make sure you have some free space around the outlet as it protrudes a few inches from the wall.
This product will extend your Wi-Fi on both 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands and supports features of some of the most advanced routers. A must buy if you are looking for a high end extender.
My Best Buy number: 0962208100
I would recommend this to a friend!

SynopsisThe last time the earth was ravaged, animals were saved two by two in a massive ark, peacefully sailing to a new beginning, or so the story goes. This time, we're not so lucky. With a massive asteroid hurtling toward the planet, a select few were chosen to inhabit modern-day arks — pods buried deep within the earth's core. You were chosen. You were buried alive. And you rose from the ground to face your worst nightmare. Hordes of mutants killing without a thought, bandit gangs wreaking havoc throughout the already defunct wasteland, a looming Authority seizing maniacal power and holding secrets — this is what remains of humanity. The world as you know it is gone, but if any world is to stand in its place, there's only one person left who can raise it up from the ashes — you. That is, if you can survive the Rage.Step up to the challenge and climb into the wasteland in the first-person shooter that flings you to the edge of the earth and the brink of extinction. Rage pits you against the odds in a desolate world in which you were selected for survival — just to face death at every turn. To redeem humanity, you must master a massive arsenal of exotic wingsticks, sentry bots, bomb cars and other powerful weapons and fearlessly wage war against the evil forces overtaking your planet. Fire through heart-pounding first-player shooting action, rip through the wasteland in high-octane vehicle chases and turn your car into your most deadly weapon — you have to play dirty if you want to live. Experience the mass decay with every painfully realistic detail with the id Tech 5 engine and Megatexture technology, firing at 60 frames per second to make you feel as if the world has crumbled around you. And when you take the battle online, the devastating action really does stretch around the world. You've survived the apocalypse. Now comes the real battle.

Game was not tested properly
By skullboy88 from Los Angeles, CA
First of all the reason for such a low rating is that the game is not playable. Right out the box. Now, I have been building pc's for over 10 years and have sunk hundreds of dollars into my rig to play the most demanding games. And I do. The problem is that ID software sent out a game to the public that is not finished. Google, rage graphics problems and you will find a magnitude of arcticles about poor graphics bad drivers and other issues. AMD and Nvidia have been working for a driver patch but reports from many say they do not work to fix the tearing and poor rendering . People are paying $60.00 for a pc game. Dont you think it should work right away without having to wait for a patch?

To be fair, a patch has since been release which fixes many of these PC problems including better support for video cards and settings.

Horrid Sound
By DELienz from Delaware
I had pair of Sony Headphones that I bought a few years ago for approx. $50 dollars... Sounded Amazing, but I recently ran then over with my car... Anyway bought these assuming the sound would be similar and also compensate for my only complaint with my other heardphones which was falling constantly out of my ear during workouts. Turns out these are more expensive but that sound terrible. Tried changing the setting on my IPOD and there is no overcoming the lack of bass. I am a auidiophile and I do listen to music a lot of double bass and drums so bass is something I must have in a headphone. If that's what you looking for don't buy these. I'm confident cheaper headphones with the same quality sound can be obtained so I would not recommend these to anyone...

Balanced Armature
June 28, 2012
Balanced Armature headphones are designed to sound like the original recording. Most headphones these days are "dynamic armature" which are designed kind of like a hardware equilizer where bass is usually most important. Any of these balanced armature headphones are aimed specifically at audiophiles as they repoduce very true to original sound with detailed mid ranges and highs.

Will every unit come with two ethernet ports? Can they be used for wired backhaul or direct ethernet?

Yes, each unit comes with two ethernet. I haven't tried wired backhaul but you can indeed plug them all directly to the router for direct ethernet.

Capture up to 1440p video with this Nextbase 522GW dash camera. Alexa enables hands-free control through voice commands, and Bluetooth 4.2 and Wi-Fi technologies sync with compatible smartphones for quick access to important footage. This Nextbase 522GW dash camera has ports for connecting compatible camera modules for easy expansion.
 

How does Alexa give you directions to your desired destination? Do they show up on the screen, or is this Alexa feature not available on this dash cam?

Alexa is present but it does not integrate into any build in GPS as far as I can tell. There are other devices such as the Garmin speak which combines a dash cam with Garmin + Alexa navigation via a skill but there is no screen on that device.

Garmin Speak™ Plus with Amazon Alexa is what you love about Amazon Alexa, now in your vehicle. Use voice control for hands-free access to music, news, navigation and more. Plus, a built-in dash cam gives you forward collision and lane departure warnings.
 

Can you please tell me more about the dash cam. Can it be controlled by voice or a remote button? Where does it store the videos and how can I get them? Through wifi or only sd card?

It is simply always recording. There is a separate app you must download if you want to view on your phone. It will connect to your phone via wi-fi but you can take out the Micro SD card if you want to plug the videos in to your computer. There is an overlay option which tells the drivers speed and a little more info as well. It also records in car audio.

If maps stay up to date , is the system using my data plan ? Garmin & TomTom use satellites , what does this system use ? Does this system in any way use my data plan and if so , how ?

I did a trip to a national park using this device. It appears there are no downloaded maps as the moment I lost my data connection the device didn't know what to do. It seems it is always using your data plan as long as you are using pretty much any of its features other than dashcam.

With all these features, Does it scan the road and next to the road for objects such as DEER ? If so will it alert you ?

From my experience, no. There is only lane detection warning and collision detection warning as added safety features.

Is there any way to do talk to text in tablet mode? Or make the keyboard swype at least?

There is no dictation function but there is a few keyboard settings that could help. You could configure the touch keyboard in split layout so you can use only your thumbs on each side of the screen to type. It takes a little practice but is useable when you get used to it. There is a also a "Scribble" mode where you can write on the screen and it will turn it into text.
